Black holes: not endings, but beginnings? New research could revolutionize our understanding of the universe
New research suggests black holes may transition into ‘white holes’, ejecting matter and potentially even time back into the universe, defying our current understanding of these cosmic giants. The study by the University of Sheffield proposes a…

Entwined dwarf stars reveal their location thanks to repeated radio bursts
An international team of astronomers led by Dr Iris de Ruiter, now at the University of Sydney, has shown that a white dwarf and a red dwarf star orbiting each other every two hours are emitting radio pulses.
Thanks to follow-up observations…

Mosquito pain receptors are less sensitive during extreme heat
Hotter temperatures may render natural insect repellents less effective against mosquitoes, according to a new study.
Researchers found that a pain receptor called TRPA1 becomes less sensitive in mosquitoes when exposed to heat, meaning that the…
